She reflected on how overworking had severely impacted her well-being, noting, “Towards the end of last year, I discovered just how intertwined mental health is with physical health.”

Despite achieving significant career milestones, Adelle found herself grappling with extreme fatigue. She described hitting a breaking point after returning from a work trip to New York.

“As soon as I got back, my body and mind just gave out,” she admitted.

The symptoms she faced were overwhelming: suicidal thoughts, severe insomnia, loss of appetite, poor gut health, and a general lack of motivation.

“It was painful and bewildering because I had never experienced anything like this before,” she explained.

A concerned friend eventually encouraged her to see a doctor, which led her to a wellness-focused clinic. The consultation, which felt more like a therapy session, resulted in a diagnosis of low-functioning depression, attributed to a combination of sleep deprivation and poor gut health.

Adelle began a treatment plan aimed at improving her sleep and gut health. Within three weeks of starting the prescribed medication, she began to feel a positive change.

“I also received valuable advice on how to support both my mental and physical health,” she added.
